It seems immigration has not only done a great job of extending wait times in the nation's hospitals - putting the health of Canadians at risk - by denying Canadians access to immediate health care but it is also clogging up the nation's courts system on the tax payer's dime no less.

One has to wonder how much money could have been saved if these people were not even allowed to set foot on Canadian soil in the first place. These funds could have been invested in productive ventures that could help improve the lives of Canadians. Instead they are being flushed down a judicial toilet in unproductive court cases that in the end will either extend the stay of an undesirable or they'll be allowed to stay giving the nation another immigrant albatross to wear around the neck.

Part of the problem, as Lilley points out, are unelected, unaccountable judges creating policy at the bench. They have made themselves obstacles to executing a functional immigration system that serves the needs of the nation. But as long as the government allows laws like the Singh decision to remain in effect then who are they to complain? They should go to the source of the problem, not complain about the symptoms it creates and address it with band aid solutions.

Let us not stop at Canada's Federal Court level, but simply visit a provincial court room in Toronto and you'd mistakenly think you had been suddenly transported to courtroom located on the Caribbean Islands.

A small sampling of the Toronto Police Most Wanted list is found HERE.

But let's not stop there either, because there's more than enough fodder to fill this immigration cannon many times over.

Foreign criminals subject to deportation by the Canada Border Services Agency are HERE.
